Maybe someone can clear this up for me.
From what i’ve read/heard.

What did Assad have to gain from launching a chemical attack?

Just as Trump was talking about pulling US troops out of the area as it’s costing alot of money etc etc.(Great news for Assad)
Assad had the area encircled.Pretty much won
then decides to use Chemical weapons on an area he already pretty much controls and also pulling the US back in.
Why would he do this?It makes zero sense.
The rebels on the other hand do have something to gain.They get airstrikes from outside Syria against government airbases(by Israel this time) and they also(they hope) get the US to stay in.
Either Assad is ridiculously stupid or this wasn’t him.

If it's not then who is it? The Russians? They were happy enough to use their chemicals in the UK in broad daylight. There are pictures, someone did it.

Don't start that rubbish again Nicky. 3 people were made very ill and might have died, countless others could have been affected. It's not a joke.

when there is evidence i believe it, sorry but Putin said he felt sad about ex spy skripal and his daughter and anyone else involved


UK government accuse Russia without proof, they deny them helping with the investigation


i'm not into rubbish now, just me wanting to know who is really responsible
